Publish HTML/RMD to Azure service (like Rpubs.com) #1108

Open MikhailArkhipov opened 8 years ago

myusrn commented 7 years ago

Where do you folks see things stand with this feature request?

I ask because i just got through another aka.ms/dsJhu "data science specialization" course assignment where we had to use rstudio r markdown knitr to html followed by publish option that lets you push that html result straight into the rpubs.com service.

Looking at the http://rpubs.com/about/getting-started info it doesn't appear there is a manual process for getting the r markdown html output into rpubs.com service. The alternative option of setting up a github repo with gh-pages branch and pushing html output into that is much more cumbersome for sharing rmd 2 html output with others.

I guess the current work around is to do the rmd work in vs17 rtools and then when you need to publish to rpubs.com open it in rstudio to carry out just that task.

If you have Azure subscription, you can try and use https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service-web/app-service-web-get-started-html

rpubs.com is proprietary so we can't directly push there... Some shared Azure service would be indeed nice though.

Thanks for details, I didn't realize rpubs.com was an rstudio inc. provided service that they are not willing to let anyone creating R language related experiences to push to. I might expect publishing html page(s) to an azure storage account publicly exposed container, using block type, to be an alternative that doesn't require as much setup or cost as an azure app service involves, e.g. https://mysawestus.blob.core.windows.net/public/c9w2p1.html .

Is there an upvote option somewhere here in the issue view and if so where?

MikhailArkhipov commented 7 years ago

I believe if you type :+1 the issue becomes upvoted

If you click on "Add your reaction" button (the smiley icon), there's a thumbs-up there that translates to an upvote.

That's what i'm seeing in search hits on "github issue voting" but am surprised its based on a comment entered set of characters to inject the upvote emoticon, or adding thumbs-up reaction to an existing issue comment. Seems like it doesn't do much to help you folks in terms of enabling automated reporting on upvote / downvote entries for a given issue. Is what it is i guess so here is an upvote for this issue. 👍
